Decarbonisation Strategy for Homes and Public Buildings

This guide outlines a comprehensive approach to decarbonising homes and public sector buildings to achieve net zero emissions. It is structured into four stages: Assess, Advise, Activate, and Accelerate. The first stage, Assess, involves evaluating the decarbonisation requirements by conducting condition surveys, analyzing energy efficiency, identifying opportunities for savings, and creating a strategic outline case. The second stage, Advise, focuses on developing an outline business case that includes funding options, detailed cost estimates, and procurement strategies. The third stage, Activate, transitions from planning to implementation by developing a full business case and securing necessary funding for pilot projects. Finally, the Accelerate stage expands the decarbonisation efforts across a broader portfolio, incorporating lessons learned and continuous monitoring to optimize results and ensure the engagement of local skilled workers. This structured approach aims to facilitate a successful transition to zero-carbon properties.
